Now that we’ve had more time to digest the Grand Prix: Montreal results, seeing more of the decks that weren’t in the Top 16, we’re beginning to hear about a few of the PTQ results. This means we can start testing with more refined versions of the decks we’ve been playing, or seen on MTGO, and personal gauntlets.

Today, we’re talking about rares, more significantly “bad rares.” And that discussion has two sides; the side of the corporate shills who have no higher or grander goal than saving you the undue burden of money, and the whining ninnies of the casual crowd who have no idea how the world works.

Kyle journeyed to Grand Prix: Montreal via a most unusual route… and today’s Down and Dirty chronicles each step of the way in painful and extravagant detail.

Hello everybody, and welcome to a very special edition of the Magic Show. This week we hit our fiftieth show, and with it an important milestone: Correspondents! Yes, our own Rueben Bressler visits Grand Prix: Montreal and brings us deck tech from Craig Jones, as well as a very special Magic connection between a Judge and his autistic son. All that and more, just inside!

Summer is here, and I for one shall be focusing almost entirely upon Block Constructed from now until infinity. Other than brief nods to formats of interest, such as this weekend’s Pro Tour, we’ll be playing Block until August. My intention was to hit a PTQ this weekend with a carload of fellow predators, but it seems StarCityGames.com in Roanoke is still quite far from New York City.
